What a Level 1 Inspection Looks Like (And How to Pass)

Sometimes it’s easier to avoid a roadside inspection than to survive one. And I don’t mean ducking scales or pulling illegal U-turns, I mean giving inspectors no reason to stop you in the first place. A clean truck, proper paperwork and professional presence go further than most realize when it comes to passing, or avoiding, enforcement during CVSA blitzes.

Next week, from May 14-16, the annual CVSA International Roadcheck begins. Thousands of inspectors across the U.S., Canada and Mexico will...

Recent releases by Ryder System and Knight-Swift highlight the growing awareness of the added costs required for fleets that face increased pressure to transition to electric vehicles.

A new Class 8 battery electric...

CVSA International Roadcheck just around the corner

Every year the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance conducts International Roadcheck.

Heads up: International Roadcheck is imminent

Drivers take note: International Roadcheck is May 17-19.

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) annual inspection is only a few days away, but that’s just enough time to take care of a few loose ends.
